David testifies in Psalm 409:1, “I waited patiently (the Hebrew means “in waiting, I keep on waiting”) for the Lord; and He inclined unto me, and heard my cry.”
The word “incline” literally means “stretched down to.” A number of translations say, “He bent down to me.” Others say, “He stopped down to me.” Isn’t that wonderful? God, who is Ruler of all and above the heavens, hears your continual cry and stretches down from heaven to deliver you.
David tells us what God did when He bent down to him, “He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord” (Psalm 40:2-3).
No matter how horrible the pit you are in, it’s not too deep for God to stretch down to you.
His deliverance is so great, that He not only gives you a song to sing, but everyone will “see” the song in you and it will cause them to trust the Lord.
